Don't touch me

Aware of moments lost
of moments that will never be
that you and I will NEVER share

You choose her to make
even more memories with

Things I will never do
places Ill never go

Places in this world
Ill never set foot on

Places in my heart
that will never
be filled

Your punishment is knowing
you stole that from us

From "ME"

You had 5 years
of memories
with her

when I am your wife
you should have been
making new ones with me

And it will NEVER be

Ill only ever be
half in love with you

Because now
I love you
with a broken heart

This is a beautiful write, and filled with emotion and angst created by love lost through betrayal.

There's nothing like the pain of a broken heart, and you've captured it with this excellent poem!

you know this is the most un forgivable sin in marriage this is the one that ends in divorce most of the time and if not the hurt is always there and the suspension

Dont touch me...especially when youre touching someone else as well. The pain of adultery scars our hearts and souls. Sad ink....;-/

A hard topic my Poet and writer friend. Old wise saying. "People who live for words and song. They like to travel back and fore in time. They are madmen who do not desire peace. Fighting battles already lost and gone." When we find new love. Need time and memories to create hope and foundation. Can't kill the memories. We can paint new one's and swim in present happiness. Today is tomorrow happiness and sadness. Better to find joy and happiness today. What matters is what we love now. The past is the storage tank for poetry and tale. It is gone. A powerful poem. Make old Coyote think too hard today.
